Hiccup and the gang are 17-18 takes place RTTE.

They walked back to the table keeping a noticeable distance between each other.
"We are going to leave after breakfast, and that we are only taking you two with us." Hiccup explained.
Astrid pretended to give Hiccup an annoyed glare.
Brandr casted a sideways glance at the two sensing that something was off.
"Um, okay I will get packing then." Brandr stated rising up from his seat with his finished plate in hand.
Hiccup rose from his seat also. "I'll go map the course."
Astrid muttered "Whatever." Underneath her breath but was still heard by Hiccup and a surprised Heather.
Hiccup just huffed and rolled his eyes.
Heather eyes narrowed down at Astrid.
"What was that?" She asked after Hiccup was out of earshot.
"What was what?" Astrid asked back innocently.
Heather shook her head disbelievingly before getting up to pack for the trip.
Astrid inwardly smirked before standing up herself.
Hiccup and Astrid avoided each other while prepping for the trip.
"Do you want to check on Astrid to see if she needs any help?" Brandr asked hopefully.
Hiccup spared him a look. "No, she can handle things herself."
Brandr's eyebrows furrowed deeply.
"Hiccup never misses an opportunity to see Astrid." Brandr thought.
Hiccup charted out the way on a piece of parchment paper for them to follow.
They soon took off to find the island Tidel, of course Hiccup and Astrid ignored each other and only talked to Heather or Brandr.
Brandr flew closer to Heather. "Hey do you know what's going on with those two?"
"No idea, Astrid won't talk to me about it." Heather whispered.
"I'll try to talk to Astrid."
Heather nodded her approval. Brandr directed Plasma over to Stormfly.
The two dragons growled a hello to each other.
"Hey Bran." Astrid greeted him casually.
Brandr cut to the chase. "What is going on between you and Hiccup?"
A scowl crossed Astrid's face but then vanished.
"Nothing's going on between us."
His eyes widened considerably.
"No, you guys didn't."
Astrid nodded.
"Tell me everything." Brandr sort of demanded.
She sighed. "Okay but we should land, I don't want Hiccup to overhear us."
Brandr nodded and turned his head towards Heather and Hiccup's direction. "Uh me and Astrid need to land due to a flight issue."
"Fine just meet us at the island we discussed so we can rest the dragons and eat." Hiccup half growled out not looking at the two.
Brandr and Astrid veered off to a small island.
"Go ahead Heather, I'm just going to hang back a bit."
Heather nodded not believing him. She went straight enough out of sight so she doubled back and was now flying behind an unaware Hiccup.
Hiccup smirked sensing that Heather was behind him not to Heather's knowledge he wanted Heather to follow him.
When Brandr and Astrid landed he immediately slide off Plasma's back.
"Okay, spill now."
"Me and Hiccup have been having problems that we kept brushing off and not telling anyone about." "When we were discussing the plans it just came to a head and I dumped him."
Brandr rubbed the back of his neck. "Can't you guys I don't know...talk it out?"
Astrid opened her mouth to speak but then closed it and abruptly hugged him.
A short yell interrupted them. Hiccup landed down and smoothly dismounted Toothless.
Heather trailed behind him looking bewildered.
Brandr's back was to Hiccup so he sent a quick wink to Astrid to play along.
Astrid got the message, she had no idea what Hiccup had in store but she was going to find out.
Hiccup pushed Brandr off of Astrid.
"What do you think you're doing?" Hiccup asked Brandr.
Brandr looked bewildered.
"Hiccup, it's not like that at all." Brandr explained with his hands up in a surrender.
"Oh really, we weren't trying to get with Astrid now that she's free." Hiccup growled out.
Astrid could have almost laughed at the way Hiccup was so out of character for himself.
"I told you, it's not like that, you know I have feelings for someone else."
Hiccup made another threatening step towards Brandr.
"Don't do this man." Brandr pleaded with him.
Heather then had enough watching on the sidelines. She got in-between Hiccup and Brandr.
"That's enough Hiccup go to the island and set up camp."
Hiccup cast one last look at Astrid who gave the tiniest nod.
He grunted like he was annoyed and hopped on Toothless. Toothless flew as fast as he can off to the island.
Heather turned to Brandr.
"Are you okay?"
Brandr nodded still shocked that Hiccup accused him of hitting on Astrid.
Astrid broke the silence. "Lets just get to the island and rest.
The three took off and got to the island that they decided to rest on for the night before continuing to the island Tidel.
They landed on the island by dusk and Hiccup already had his own tent set up and had a fire going. He appeared he already cooked himself some dinner and left leftover fish in a pan for the rest of them.
Hiccup was already in his tent seemingly asleep. Astrid knew better and was probably waiting for them or her to be exact.
The three had their dinner in silence.
Heather pulled Brandr to the side to talk to him.
"Are you really okay Brandr?" She asked.
"Yeah, I'm good, its just shocking that Hiccup really flipped out like that, it was like he was a totally different person."
Heather nodded in agreement. "We really need to get them back together to be honest."
"Yeah, they are both so miserable."
"I have to ask what did you mean when you said you like someone?" Heather asked.
Brandr turned a shade of pink and rubbed the back of his neck.
"Oh that...its nothing really."
Heather let out a small laugh.
"Come on who is it."
"I'm not telling you."
Heather bumped her shoulder with his.
"I will give you a hint though." Brandr said thoughtfully.
"Okay."
"I understand where Hiccup is coming from, where he likes a girl and they spend time together but he doesn't no if the girl likes him back."
Heather looked down at the ground for a second. "Yeah I can relate."
Brandr's head perked up the slightest bit.
While they were talking Astrid slinked herself into Hiccup's tent.
Hiccup was on his sleeping mat reading a book.
"I think its working." Astrid said excitedly.
Hiccup placed his book down beside him. "How?" "What are they doing now?"
"Heather asked him about his crush and they are talking." "I think Brandr knows that Heather likes him."
Hiccup let out a sigh in relief. "Finally, I don't know how long I can play the bad guy."
Astrid pecked him on the cheek. "I know its actually starting to weird me out because normally you're the sweetest guy."
Hiccup wrapped his arms around her torso. "Are you sleeping with me tonight?"
Astrid shook her head. "We can't risk it."
Hiccup stuck out his lip and pouted. "Come on, I'm going to be so lonely, just one cuddle, that's it."
Astrid laughed. "Nope, can't risk it."
Hiccup groaned. "I swear they better be together by the end of this."
Astrid gave him a reassuring kiss before stealthily making her way out of the tent.
Brandr and Heather were still conversing by the fire. Heather's knee was brushing Brandr's and their shoulders were bumping each others.
"All right I'm heading off to bed, night guys." Astrid called out to the two of them.
"Night." They both replied back in unison.
Brandr checked the sky to see how late it is.
Heather yawned. "I should be getting to bed."
Brandr agreed beside her.
"Oh shoot." Heather's eyes widened. "I still need to set up my tent."
"Its already dark out, just sleep in mine." Brandr said automatically.
Heather gestured to him. "But then where are you going to sleep?"
"Out here on Plasma." He pointed with his thumb to his dragon that was laying down. He poked his head up at the mention of his name.
Brandr tossed him a left over fish from the fire. Plasma caught it and cooed a thanks to his rider.
"No thats not an option, I will sleep out here."
Brandr shook his head. "Its cold out and Plasma is a walking breathing heater."
"Or we could just both share the tent." Heather said in a small voice.
Brandr's ears burned and he cleared his throat. "Um...okay we could do that."
They both got as comfortable as they dared in each others presence.
Both fell asleep and ended up cuddling through the night.
Brandr and Heather woke up to light streaming in the tent. Brandr used his hand to block some of the light.
"Aw aren't you guys cute." Astrid's voice rang out through the silence.
Realizing their position the blushing pair sprang apart.
Hiccup was already outside feeding Toothless fish without his shirt on.
Astrid brushed past him annoyed. "You're making hard not to attack you right now."
Hiccup's eyes sparkled with mischief. "Maybe that was the idea."
Astrid narrowed her eyes at him.
Hiccup gave her a smirk and placed a hand on his bicep.
Astrid jabbed him in the stomach.
Brandr and Hiccup were awkward and didn't speak to each other.
"Let's get going, we should make it to the Tidal by the afternoon. Astrid stated.
They packed up and set off on their dragons.
The rest of the ride was silent and the island came in few.
"Look, look, look there it is!" Hiccup shouted in delight.
The others followed Hiccup in his dive.
Once they landed on the island there was pools of water everywhere that contained different tidal dragons.
"Whoa." Brandr said in amazement.
Hiccup glanced down at a pool that had electricity running through it.
"I think I found the Shockjaw."
Hiccup quickly got out his journal to record their findings so when they get back to the Edge Fishlegs can put their findings in the Book of Dragons.
A roar was heard from one of the water pits and a suction cup hand wrapped around Heather's waist.
Heather let out a shriek as the tentacle tugged at her torso trapping her arms to her sides.
The dragon pulled sending Heather into the pool of water.
"Heather!" The three yelled, alarmed by the sight.
"Toothless!" Hiccup exclaimed to his dragon.
He got the hidden message and began charging up a plasma blast.
"Wait!" Brandr placed a hand on Toothless's snout telling him to stop.
Toothless swallowed his blast causing smoke to come out of his nostrils.
"What are you doing?" Astrid questioned.
"If you fire you might harm her."
Hiccup hesitantly agreed. "Then what are we going to do?"
Without a second thought Brandr plunged into the pool.
The water was surprisingly fresh and clear much to his relief. He scanned around, the pool was deeper than they initially thought.
A flash of silver caught his eye, he started to swim towards it.
There he saw the struggle between Heather and the mysterious dragon. Heather was still trapped in the tentacle but she somehow freed her arms which were holding her trusty axe.
The dragon was like nothing Brandr or the gang ever saw before. It didn't have wings but instead had four tentacles two on each side. The head looked like a Speed Stinger but wider and they seem to have four legs.
Brandr took out his Khopesh sword. He was able to cut off a tentacle holding Heather. THE dragon let out a muffled roar.
It shot this black goo at Brandr from the opening underneath the tentacle.
Brandr was able to avoid it and swipe the dragon on one of its hind legs. The dragon let out another roar and retreated to the depths.
Heather's eyes started to close as she fought for consciousness. She has been underwater longer than Brandr.
He grabbed her by the waist and half pulled half carried her. Brandr was almost to the surface when Plasma spotted him and grabbed him by the back of his shirt. He then proceeded on hoisting him up. He spluttered out some water along with Heather.
"Are you okay?" Brandr asked concerned.
Heather still trying to get her breath back just nodded.
"I'm so glad you're okay Heather." Hiccup knelt down to help her up Astrid did the same with Brandr.
Astrid going along with the plan from the start mimicked Hiccup. "I'm glad you're okay Heather."
Hiccup gave her a glare.
"So what?" "I'm happy she is okay." Hiccup answered her.
Astrid took a step toward him.
"Ever since we broke up you seem to be awfully nice to her."
"Its called being nice, ever heard of it."
Astrid was about to punch him in the gut.
"Enough!" Brandr shouted at them.
"I'm sick and tired of you guys fighting, I mean you guys are Hiccup and Astrid who never fight with each other."
"Its obvious you two still have feelings for each other so why not just say it."
"If you like someone then you should just say it, just like me..."
Brandr's eyes widened in realization.
He turned to Heather.
"Heather I'm going to take my own advice and just tell you how I feel."
Brandr held his hands out wide.
"I like you okay, from the minute we talked in the spring."
"We both come from poor places and don't have any parents left, so why not be broken together?"
Heather unexpectedly pulled an 'Astrid' and placed both hands on his cheeks and kissed him.
"Finally!"
They parted to see Hiccup and Astrid smiling and standing close to each other.
"What?"
"Our plan worked!" Hiccup explained.
"See we had to get you two together somehow and by making you guys think we broke up would compel the both of you to figure out a way to get us back together and while in the process have both of you realize your feelings for each other."
Heather and Brandr had their eyebrows raised not believing how complicated the whole plan was.
Brandr walked up to Hiccup and punched him in the shoulder.
"I hate both of you."
Astrid tousled his hair.
"We love you too."
"So what are you going to call the dragon with tentacles?" Hiccup asked.
"I don't know...I was thinking Sea Gooper." Brandr answered him.
"Sea Gooper?"
Brandr shrugged.
"Yeah, I mean it did shoot black goop from the inside of its tentacles."
"All right, Sea Gooper it is."
They landed back at the Edge.
"Hey guys how was the trip?" Fishlegs asked excited.
They all cast sideways glances at each other.
"It was good, nothing crazy." Hiccup replied.
"Did you find the Shockjaw?"
"Yep, also another new dragon."
Fishlegs squealed in excitement.
"Ooh, tell me all about it!"
"Well, I for one didn't see the new dragon Brandr did."
"Can you both tell me about the new dragons so I can record them into the book?"
Brandr nodded.
"Sure why not?"
Hiccup and Brandr both gave their respective girlfriends a kiss on the cheek.
Fishelgs's eyes widen for a second figuring out what happened. He let it go and giggled silently at Snotlout's face when he realizes that Heather isn't single anymore.
Fishlegs was happy for Brandr and Heather a new couple means more fun.
